HMRC confirms change that will give taxpayers lower interest rates in days
HMRC has announced the dates its new interest rates will take effect. Depending on the payment plan used by taxpayers, the dates for the diary were August 18 and 27. The change follows the Bank of England's recent base rate cut, the Mirror reports. READ MORE: 'New garden shed tax' warning as householders urged to check if they're affected The Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee declared a drop in the base rate on August 7. It will drop from 4.25 per cent to four per cent, marking the lowest it has been since March 2023. The base rate sets the tone for interest rates for building societies and banks. It impacts everyone from savers to homeowners, credit card holders and HMRC. Changes to HMRC's interest rates will affect those making late tax payments or receiving repayments on their bill. The current interest rates charged on these payments stand at 8.25 per cent and 3.25 per cent respectively. The late payment interest rate, which is calculated as the base rate plus four per cent, will drop to eight per cent following the Bank of England's change. Repayment interest rates, calculated as the base rate minus one per cent, will now drop to three per cent. The interest rates for quarterly instalment payments will fall on August 18. Meanwhile non-quarterly instalment payments will not benefit from the new rates until August 27. The interest rates were designed to incentivise people to pay tax on time and avoid the late payment interest. The repayment rate aims to fairly compensate taxpayers for any loss incurred due to overpayments. Late payment interest rates hit a record high of 8.5 per cent earlier this year - a level not seen since February 2000, according to HMRC data.

How CAS ruling will affect Crystal Palace in the transfer window
Crystal Palace's hopes of competing in the Europa League this season are over, and the news could have a seismic impact on the club. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) turned down their appeal against UEFA's decision to demote them to the Europa Conference League (BBC). The decision has several implications for Palace. Not only will Nottingham Forest now take their place in the Europa League, but the Eagles may have to draw up a new plan on how to navigate the transfer window. Palace qualified for the Europa League after beating Manchester City to win the FA Cup last season. However, UEFA's multi-club rules forbid clubs under the same ownership from competing in the same tournament. Former shareholder John Textor had a stake in both Palace and Olympique Lyon, who finished sixth in Ligue 1 to qualify for Europe. Textor eventually sold his Palace shares in a desperate attempt to keep them in the Europa League, but the deadline to prove compliance expired back in March. The club took it up with CAS, but they made it clear that the Eagles breached the rules and failed to make the necessary adjustments in time. How the ruling affects Palace's transfer strategy Dropping down to the Europa Conference League is undeniably a massive blow to Palace. On the plus side, they have a better chance at winning the trophy. But the implications go far beyond their chances. The competition is far less prestigious and financially rewarding than the Europa League. The demotion could cost Palace around £20 million in lost revenue. That could have made a world of difference for the Eagles in the transfer market. Without Europa League football, Palace may struggle to attract their key targets as they now have less bargaining power to fend off competition. The verdict also couldn't have come at a worse time for the club. The Eagles are fighting to keep their star players at Selhurst Park, with Eberechi Eze and captain Marc Guehi drawing interest from Arsenal and Liverpool, respectively. There was never any guarantee that the promise of Europa League football would be enough to convince them to stay. Playing in the Europa Conference League holds no weight, considering that a move guarantees them Champions League football.

Ben Jacobs: Man United identify ‘outstanding' EPL midfielder as Baleba alternative
Manchester United realise that signing Carlos Baleba remains a daunting task, so they're already considering other options, and this includes Adam Wharton. The Red Devils are looking to pair Bruno Fernandes with an enforcer in the middle of the park, so they have decided to resort to the market, as the current squad doesn't contain a player capable of fulfilling this role efficiently. Casemiro doesn't have the legs to cover large acres of the pitch as he used to in his heyday, while Manuel Ugarte still has to vastly improve to prove himself worthy of a starting role at Man Utd. Man United can't afford to buy Carlos Baleba (Photo by) In recent weeks, Baleba emerged as United's preferred profile for the role. The 21-year-old Cameroonian is a physically imposing midfielder who has been making large strides since joining Brighton in 2023. However, the Seagulls have no desire to sell Baleba, at least not for a figure below £100 million. This astronomical asking price has scared INEOS away, as they don't have the financial means to pull a transfer of this magnitude, especially having already spent more than £200 million on Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko. Therefore, Man Utd must start reflecting on their options, and according to football journalist Ben Jacobs, the answer could be Adam Wharton. The transfer market expert revealed during his podcast with The United Stand, that MUFC 'like' the Crystal Palace midfielder, adding that the club will be seeking a transfer in the region of £30-40 million if they decide to completely abandon the Baleba track. Adam Wharton identified as Baleba's alternative at Man Utd This will definitely be music to the ears of many Man United supporters who have been urging the management to pursue the 21-year-old England international. The Blackburn Rovers youth product joined Palace in January 2024 for circa £20 million, and swiftly cemented himself as one of the finest young players in the Premier League. He also played an instrumental role in the Eagles' FA Cup and Community Shield triumphs. Wharton made his debut for the English national team in June 2024, and was hailed by Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice as an 'outstanding' player.
